Independent presidential Robert F. Kennedy Jr. envisioned sharing the stage with President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump at CNN’s presidential debate on June 27.
Shut out of the forum, he will instead hold what his campaign has called “The Real Debate” in West Hollywood at the same time the current and former president meet in Atlanta.
Live streamed on X, Mr. Kennedy’s event will take place in a studio with a live audience, unlike the forum in Atlanta, where no audience members are permitted.
ATLANTA, Ga.—All eyes are on Thursday night’s highly anticipated showdown in Atlanta, where President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will face off for the first debate of the 2024 general election.
The 81-year-old Democrat incumbent and his 78-year-old opponent will be making their first appearance together in four years in what will potentially be a game-changing event in the presidential race.
Since the debate pits the two oldest presidential candidates in American history, their energy, appearance, reasoning, and reactions to questions will be intensely scrutinized. Hence, many regard this debate as more of a stage performance.
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will square off in their first debate of 2024 on June 27, aiming to present different visions for the future of the United States.
The high-stakes debate will be a crucial platform for the two oldest candidates in U.S. history to demonstrate their energy, appearance, coherence, and responsiveness, making it a pivotal event that could shape the presidential race, according to political analysts.
CNN will host the debate at its Atlanta studios. The 81-year-old incumbent and his 78-year-old opponent will be standing throughout the debate, which will last 90 minutes. There will be two commercial breaks, according to the network.
